Selling a St. Louis House With Tenants: Cash Offer or Listing?
Selling a house with tenants is different from selling an empty property.
Tenant-occupied warning: Organize the lease, deposit records, rent roll, and payment history before accepting a discount.
Missouri lease law
A written lease normally survives a property sale and binds the new owner.
When cash makes sense
Verify funds through Proof of Funds and ask the questions in Questions to Ask.
When listing still works
Compare the offer with Investor Math and the Cash Offer Decoder.
Avoid retrading
Read Retrading before letting a buyer use paperwork problems against you.
The bottom line
Organize the paperwork and understand whether the tenant situation is a problem or an asset.
